Jonathan Soderstrom is a young game designer from Gothenburg, Sweden and cactus Arcade is a compilation of some of the best games he has released under the banner of his fledgling game development company Cactus / games. The compilation consists of 17 games that vary across genres-from plat formers to shoot’em ups. Clean Asia, for example, is a vertical shooter in which you play the role of some US fighter pilots as they go against an alien menace. The game has three levels and two selectable ships, each with unique controls and abilities. It faces you off against fourteen bosses and around ten regular enemies. The compilation also contains shotgun Ninja - a platformer, and SeizureDome which Jonathan describes as a sumo wrestling game but with guns: the goal is to avoid letting the swarm of enemies push you outside of a ring; using powerups, and special weapons to garner combo kills.
